We cant complain about people stealing our text if we are stealing images.

There are tons of locations that provide free stock photos, no attribution required.

Although, a watermark alone w/o some investigation is NOT grounds for unpublishing. I release all my artwork and lots of personal images for reuse with watermarks on them . That acts as some free advertising for me and I do not require attribution. Some sites work in a similar model.

Changing pictures always results in more traffic for me, so that's not a problem. I've never figured out how to know whether or not a picture is considered to be "public domain," or not. A clearly visible watermark is one thing, but not being able to see one is another.

As far as the changes go, I thought the limitation on amazon ads per the amount of text was very fair. I also thought that it was a bad idea to have amazon ads, etc, as the first capsule on a hub.

As it looks to me right now, I think a moderator has decided to look at my entire account, and unpublish any and everything that they can find any possible reason to unpublish it for.
